Double Eagle MkII/IIIThe cost-effective solution for organic mcm

Contact

The tasks of mine reconnaissance and mine disposal demand a multifunctional Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). This ROV must be capable of withstanding harsh environments as well as coping with modern mines.

Double Eagle MkII/MkIII is the first choice for many navies when it comes to Mine Countermeasures (MCM).The Double Eagle is remotely operated and can be launched from a ship, shore or any craft of opportunity (COOP), helping it meet emerging demands such as for Organic MCM.

The robust design, modularity and short turn around time of the Double Eagle MkII/MkIII means it is a highly cost-effective option, making it the best choice for MCM operators. A modular approach is used to provide flexibility in MCM operations. The vehicle provides a hydro-dynamically stable, highly reliable system with exceptional performance and low lifecycle cost.

Features

Double Eagle MkII/MkIII is designed to handle modern sea mines. The modularity of the design allows the operator to utilise the vehicle for both mine detection and mine disposal missions. The stability of the vehicle simplifies the identification of sea mines in harsh underwater conditions.

The Double Eagle can be operated in two main configurations:

Mine hunting – both remotely and autonomously performed

Mine disposal

The Double Eagle has also been adapted to the Craft Of Opportunities (COOP), where it can be housed in a container that can be easily installed on almost any type of ship.
